Tha Maharaj – 5 Restaurants & Cafes to Check Out!

Tha Maharaj is one of Bangkok’s latest attractions. It is actually a community mall by the riverside, located on the bank of Chao Phraya River. It is located in Rattanakosin Island (old town of Bangkok), which is near to places like The Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun The Temple of Dawn and Wang Lang. Tha Maharaj is also near to the biggest talisman and amulet market in Thailand. So after you are done visiting the attractions, you can actually head over here for some good food and drinks!

It’s actually a very beautiful place especially at night. Tha Maharaj is filled with many restaurants and cafes, so it’s a good place to come if you want to have a good meal and desserts with your friends at a beautiful location.

Lots of photo opportunities. There are quite a few restaurants but due to my limited time and stomach space, here are the 5 restaurants and cafes that attracted me during my first trip here!

#2 Itim Lamoon

Itim Lamoon is one of the homemade ice cream shops in Bangkok which has been gaining quite some attention. I happened to chance upon it while walking around Tha Maharaj. Of course, I needed to try it for myself. Their Egg Yolk Volcano Ice Cream is indeed worth the hype. Get ready your camera and handphone for instavideo though!

While ordering, the boss actually showed me my Instagram account and asked if it was me! Haha, met my fans! And so, we took a photo together!

#4 Creamery

There are many ice cream shops in Tha Maharaj. This is Creamery’s third outlet. I wanted to go in to get my ice cream and cookie lava fix but was told that they were closed. So I had to walk out sadly. But anyway, here’s a video from their first outlet at Chulalongkorn University.

#5 GRAM Cafe

Wanted to check out GRAM but it was one of the earliest to close after I was done with my dinner at Savoey, so I didn’t have the chance to check it out. But they do serve some interesting (read: instagrammable) desserts.
